PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can occur after a person experiences or witnesses a deeply distressing or life-threatening event. Recovery can be slow, with symptoms persisting for months or even years. Individuals with PTSD may face sudden emotional and physical reactions when reminded of the trauma, known as triggers. These responses can severely affect daily life. Understanding the signs, knowing available treatments, and learning how to help someone with PTSD are crucial steps in offering meaningful support.
